(A) On January 1, 2017, any real property which was not on the South Carolina real property tax rolls solely because prior to the boundary clarification, as contained in the amendments in Section 1-1-10, effective January 1, 2017, it was considered located in North Carolina, must be placed on the South Carolina property tax rolls. The real property must be valued based on the latest reassessment date for similar types of property in that location. The fifteen percent cap in Section 12-37-3140 is not applicable to this property in the year that the property is first placed on the tax rolls.
(B) For 2017 only, real property and personal property with a statutory lien date of December thirty-first whose location is considered to have changed from North Carolina to South Carolina as a result of boundary clarification shall have a lien date of January 1, 2017, rather than December thirty-first of the preceding year. For all subsequent property tax years the lien date shall return to December thirty-first of the preceding year.
(C) The lien date for property taxes is the date on which the property tax becomes a fixed liability of the taxpayer.
(D) Any agricultural-use property whose location is considered to have changed from South Carolina to North Carolina as a result of the boundary clarification is not subject to rollback of taxes under Section 12-43-220(d) because of the deemed location change.
(E) Taxpayers affected by the boundary clarification must apply for all property tax exemptions, special valuations, and special assessment ratios in accordance with and by the dates specified in South Carolina law.
(F) If as a result of the differing lien dates for North Carolina and South Carolina, property is subject to property taxes in both states, the taxpayer is liable for property taxes only in the state where the property is deemed located after the boundary clarification.
